User manual ICOM IC-W32A

[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL DUAL BAND FM TRANSCEIVER iC-w32a iC-w32e This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. CAUTIONS RWARNING!NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL -- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-W32A and IC-W32E. RWARNING! [. . . ] version only), this selection and step r are not necessary. 21) 5 Some repeaters require DTMF tones or a 1750 Hz tone to be accessed. In this case, perform the following instead of step r at left with the required tone. DTMF TONES (IC-W32A only) While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to transmit DTMF tones. · The transceiver has 4 DTMF memory channels. 26 for details. r Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, according to repeater requirements. · Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings. 1750 Hz TONE (Europe, Italy and U. K. versions only) While pushing [PTT], push and hold [CALL] for 1 to 2 sec. to transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal. · Pushing [PTT] 2 times quickly also transmits a 1750 Hz tone. Release [PTT] briefly, then push [PTT] again to talk in this case. t Push and hold [PTT] to transmit. · The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit frequency (repeater input frequency). · If "oFF" appears, check the offset frequency. u Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station's transmit signal can be directly received or not. CONVENIENT Tone scan function: When you don't know the subaudible tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for detecting the tone frequency. 19 5 REPEATER OPERATION s Subaudible tones Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and must be set in advance. USING s Offset frequency When communicating through a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the offset frequency.
